Hawk or Eagle?

[heartsongs]

Found in a TN creek. Looking for information please. As well I have some stones that have a face on them and stones that may be birds or fish. Thank you

I see a rock, nothing more, nothing less. You have let your imagination get the best of you.

But I do see the Grinch though.

Other then telling you those are all rocks, there's not much else to say. Do you have any artifacts you could post? Those are not artifacts. Those are rocks.

Sea turtle.

 

[The Grim Reaper]

Do you think these are artifacts or are you just posting rocks that look like animals? Either way, I think you would be better off putting them on this forum and not here.

Rocks/Gems

Yep, very good likeness!

What's blocking the hole? Anyway, just remember rocks found in the same area as artifacts do not become "artifacts by association". They remain rocks. Unaltered by humans and any "effigies" are coincidental and dependent on the human imagination in this instance.

ancient ones drilled much of the large diameter holes, like this, thru stone, using a piece of cane, and fine powdered abrasive flint dust. Cane drilling leaves that center round thing you see in the banner stone, as the tube part of the cane is all that penetrates the stone, leaving the tube in the center standing.

Yes, you're absolutely right. But look at your photo again. The "tube" is at a right angle to where it would be if it's an example of what you are describing. But it can't be such an example of the reed column. Here is an actual example of what you are describing. An unfinished bannerstone from RI. The cylindrical column is at the bottom of the hole and not as we see in your example. So we don't really know what that is blocking the hole. The column must be parallel to the sides of the hole. I am not sure that is a bannerstone, since how could it be drilled like that with that "thing" in the way?? It may be, but right now I just don't get it. Not sure what that is. Bottom line is that cannot be the reed column based on where it is. Not possible. Unless your photo is somehow throwing off the perspective or distorting the image in a way that conveys the wrong idea of what we see there?

You have people with a bag of rocks on every forum who won't take no for an answer . But they get more hits than real artifacts .

To all of you that have felt the need to answer stupidly with snide comments with all of your so called "Knowledge," what is your purpose for being on this site? I thought this site was a place where a person could come for help identifying objects? So where is that help I ask? to those of you that I have mentioned above...your not all that. Not everyone has your "Knowledge" and frankly to treat others in such an insignificant way, I will just keep my own knowledge that treats others with respect. I came here to learn, I came here seeking truth, I came here looking for answers, I came here to gain knowledge...not to be kicked in the face because I don't have answers. How does one learn if they don't seek out truth? How does one learn if questions are not asked? How does one learn from a**holes? If y'all are "experts" how can you expect anyone to learn anything from you? My opinion is y'all are just UN-professional wanna be's that get off on belittling others that does not meet your standard of knowledge. How sad!!! To those of you that replied with courteous and helpful answers I thank you and appreciate your kindness and help.
